Love their smoked wings and do not miss out on the broccoli casserole if you are lucky enough to go when they are serving it. And the pulled pork, brisket and pork belly are all amazing!! The staff is friendly and the location is cozy. read more

My boyfriend and I had spent a long day fishing on the Poudre and completely forgot about that whole eating food thing until we pulled back into town. We needed food and we needed a lot of it, so we headed to our favorite barbecue joint in town. Everyone at the counter was masked and gloved up, which is always a good start! I ordered the three meat platter with smoked chicken wings, brisket and pulled pork, selecting potato salad and baked beans as the sides. After a short wait, the huge tray was set down in front of us and we dug in. The smoked wings are some of the best wings I've had in Fort Collins! Tender, crispy and piping hot! The brisket was a little tougher than I had hoped, but still full of flavor. The pulled pork stole the show, however - juicy and falling apart on the plate with just the right amount of sizzling fat, drizzled with a sweet and slightly tangy barbecue sauce. Originally we had thought that we'd have leftovers to reheat at home but, as you can see, that didn't happen. We demolished the plates and ripped through the perfectly prepared potato salad and maple-sweet baked beans, then debated getting dessert. The debate was short and we rounded out the meal with a container of banana pudding that had notes of cinnamon and vanilla, topped traditionally with a Nilla wafer. Once the meat sweats stop (SO. MUCH. MEAT), we'll be heading back for another mountainous platter! read more

After a day of rafting we decided to come here for a bite to eat. The menu was displayed largely on the wall right when you walk in (left side). Unfortunately, they seemed to be out of all my first and second options (it was later in the day on a Sunday). I also feel like it's fair to say that most places are minimizing portions due to everyone slowing getting back to "normal". Staff was nice and the outside patio was very inviting (spacious - social distance friendly). As for the food, it was a bit too breaded for me (also, could maybe need a little bit more seasoning). I was with 3 other people and we all got different things (great way to taste a variety of menus items) and my favorite were the wings and the cornbread (but, I wish the cornbread was warm and had a side of butter). read more

After a week of hiking I'm always down for some great barbecue and Fort Collins offers several places to have barbecue but I came here with my partner who has lived here for over five years and said that this place is by far the best spot to have barbecue. We had the brisket and the chicken both of them were so tender and amazing. The sides, which was the potato salad, the creamed spinach, The baked beans and the coleslaw we're great combination with great flavors. read more

Would have loved to eat here but stood at the counter to order for about 8 min on a Friday night at 8:15 and no one paid attention-too busy talking to ea other. There wasn't anyone eating inside so it wasn't like they were busy...then I remembered why I never eat here and turned around and walked out. Went to Mo Jeaux's to get my bbq fix! read more

Two choice combo of brisket and pulled pork was small and decent, yet, nothing I would crave. The sides of the day were potatoes which were tasty; also, the corn seemed to be served from a can and the bread was less than average. Hoping to find more bbq in Colorado. read more

Ordered catering for my mom's birthday. We got brisket, pulled pork, beans and mac & cheese. A lot of it. Brisket was a tiny bit on the fatty side, but who doesn't love a bit of fat, right? We ordered way more than we needed so we've been having leftovers all week. And...I'm not tired of it. I've never eaten at the restaurant, but I can definitely recommend the catering. read more

I've never tried this place despite living here for years. I got the pork belly sandwich, baked beans, and pickled egg. Their white bbq sauce is pretty damn good! The pork belly sandwich itself was really good but the only thing was that the pork belly was kind of burnt on one side so it was too hard to chew at one point. The baked beans had a familiar flavor to it, I couldn't pin it, but it was good too and so was the pickled egg. This place is worth trying if you havent already. read more

What a cool little BBQ joint in the heart of old town Ft. Collins. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of the day, but just to the West is a great parking structure with the first hour free. I usually frequent this joint on Wing Wednesday, because wings are only .55 cents each. SCORE! Today I went with 14 wings and a side of their special smoked chicken salad. The wings are always delicious and well seasoned and come naked or with no sauce. These wings are smoked and then flash fried to a delicious perfection! On the side is a white ranch/bbq sauce you could say, plus on the tables is a more traditional bbq sauce. I will always mix half and half between the two sauces. Now this special for the day "Smoked Chicken Salad" was amazing It came cold and the Smokey taste was perfect! I went to order more to take home and they had already sold out. Time to up the order next time! Great vibe, great customer service, clean place, and cool front porch or back patio to sit at and even throw some cornhole. read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - Wings and smoked chicken salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This place was over priced for small portions of fatty brisket. Also very small sides. Will not be returning.

Best BBQ in town! Ribs are consistently fantastic; meaty and flavorful. Saturday fried chicken is the best around, wish they sold it more than one day. It's enough food for two meals. Cornbread has a little jalapeño, but not overdone. Not on the menu, but the shrimp poor boy is outrageously delicious! read more

Been here a couple times, very good barbecue. Got the banana pudding to go and they put a Nilla wafer on the top and bottom of the container. Fun little detail that was super sweet read more

Friendly, nice casual place to eat. Dinner time we were cold trying to eat some barbecue in this part of town. We made a quick choice when we saw the sign barbecue. I ordered shrimp platter and it was very good and my husband order ribs but were cold but good. By the way they don't reheat the food. I recommended. read more

Hooray!!!!! Finally CO is getting some better Q! Cheers to Moe's! Visiting family and first review here. Had the large rib platter, slaw and chips - meaty ribs with just the right smoke and tug, marinated slaw all excellent! Party had 3 meat platter of sausage, pulled pork, brisket, mac 'n cheese and beans. Gave me a taster, all excellent! As for the sauce, very good and flavorful and with good Q didn't need much simply enhanced it. Just a comment; prefer unsweetened tea and it wasn't offered. Great hostess, nice place. Parking a little tough for handicap spots. read more

If this is as good as it gets for BBQ here in Fort Collins, then we're in trouble. I ordered brisket and turkey and the brisket had zero bark, grey appearance and was generally tough and no.taste. The turkey was at least tender but tasted like it was smoked with whatever wood they had. We had to chop up the brisket and add one of my fav KC sauces to it to make it edible. I would take a hard pass read more

I went here because I was craving some authentic barbecue. The inside looks like a bbq joint should: brick wall interior. They play catchy music to get you in the mood. There sweet tea tastes as if they put lots of effort into it and made sure it tastes just like sweet tea should. When I got my meal, I ate the ribs first. The sauce was so good: savory with a little bit of spice. The next thing I decided to try was the potato salad. I love how they left the skin in the salad. It tasted like a potato salad should: homemade! Next was the banana pudding. When I got it, I was expecting the Jello brand, but was surprised to see how real it looked. The best thing was it came with a nilla wafer on top! It tasted so sweet! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good, homemade bbq. read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - Ribs with a side of banana pudding and potato salad! - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Given the reviews I expected better but it could have been weird timing at this college central location. I got the ribs, with a side of Mac and cheese and collard greens with a banana pudding late on a very snowy night. We ate in and the service was friendly. My ribs came out frigid in spots. I hate that, I know that bbq has to be prepared in advance but is it too much to ask to heat it up all the way so you don't feel like you mowing down on a rib half warm half freezing. It's a bit of a pet peeve I'll admit as I've experienced that more often than not at bbq joints in Colorado. The collard greens where literally drowning in vinegar what should have been a few teaspoon turned into a cup. It was inedible. The Mac and cheese was decent and pudding rich and great texture, more of a vanilla taste than banana in the batch. It would be nice if they severed the corn bread warm and with butter. read more

Very casual and delicious. Reminded me of home which is the South! I personally had the catfish, corn bread, banana pudding and coleslaw. It's was so GOOD. Service was casual and relaxed. Comes out in a basket which was fun and a nice break from full service dining. Good vegetarian TOFU BURGER. Everyone just needs to try the food NOW. read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - Table full of our brisket, fried catfish, pulled pork and much more! - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I may not be a big aficionado when it comes to BBQ because it is usually not my food of choice at all. I don't hate it but I would much rather have something else most of the time. I did decide to give Moe's a try and I wasn't disappointed. I mean I have had better BBQ elsewhere but this place was very do-able. I have a secret and hidden vulnerability to pulled pork sandwiches so that is what I got. It was tasty and I got two sides which was banana pudding and greens. The wait staff was friendly. I walked away with no complaints and satisfied. I would not hesitate in going back should the mood fits for BBQ again. read more

Don't be turned away by the Miller High Life neon sign in the window... Moe's has some local craft beers on tap. Check. Had the brisket, very nice. Flavourful, moist. Check. Sides - very good cornbread. Beans and Mac n Cheese sides were good as well. Check. Very reasonable prices. Check. Good ambiance, good music at a reasonable level. Friendly and efficient service. And they have pistons for tap handles. Check. Only downside is they have just one BBQ sauce on the tables. It is tasty, a bit spicy. Only one though. Checks all the boxes. Recommended.q read more

This place absolutely rocks. First of all the people are outstanding. I came in late to get a bite to eat and a beer and saw at the bar. The staff was friendly and welcoming even though it was the end of the night and they were getting ready to go home. Now for the food. They were out of a lot of things, but that is because they only make a set amount of each thing. I've see. This before at BBQ places and I live that it encourages me to order something different than I normally would. I had a pound of the smoked wings and a hot links sandwich. I've never been more pleased with my food. The wings were flavorful, crispy on the outside while still juicy in the middle. Absolutely perfect. Then there was the hot links sandwich. This was killer. The hot links wet spicy but not overpowering, the coleslaw was tangy and creamy and the sauce was perfectly sweet with a good amount of vinegar. Overall I would say this is some of the better food I've had in a while. Much praise and lots of love for these guys. They do everything well and do it with a smile. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more

Daaaaaank food and the best service PERIOD. The sides are killer, the meat is perfect....amazing eats.

Great banana pudding. Definitely order he thanksgiving sandwich around the holidays. It's so so good.

Certainly the best option for Bar B Que on the north side of Fort Collins. The smoker is almost always running, a good sign indicating small batches to keep the meats fresh. The meats are served with just a little sauce on top for garnish. Not enough to penalize them for hiding the meat behind the sauce. The meats here can and do stand on their own. The sauce is true to the company's Alabama roots. Lots of vinegar, not too sweet, and a little bit of heat from pepper and chili. I would describe the sauce as showing the regional transition from your tomato based Kansas region to the mustard/ vinegar Carolina styles. Alabama is pretty much in between. After the last two visits, I have tried the brisket, turkey, chicken, and pulled pork. As expected, the meats that are "less healthy" tasted the best. The Brisket: Nice smoke ring with a good outer char/ crust that is just enough texture and flavor without coming across as grit. Good lean cuts of meat too. Moe's cooks the brisket and pork correctly for long periods of time so the fat actually cooks down and moistens the meat. You will not have to deal with rubbery blobs attached to your protein here! The meat is also cooked to the correct tenderness. The brisket passed the test: sits limp over the knife without breaking, but yet pulls apart without having to saw it. The Pork: Very tasty and not over seasoned. No gristley bits. The birds: I recommend the smoked turkey. The wood Moe's uses pairs well with the turkey which is served in nice thick slabs. The chicken (in the platter form) is served as half a bird, so you have to pick around the bones and deal with dark meat. The sides: All the sides are pretty good. Baked beans have a hint of chili in them for a nice undertone of heat. The slaw is prepared deep south style with apple cider vinegar instead of mayonnaise, so overall a healthy version. If you like chili, try the Pork Green Chili. Nice and thick and very meaty. A little too much smoke for my taste that seemed to undercut the woody roast flavor I wanted to get from the Green Chilies. Cornbread is seasoned with jalepenos and grilled before serving. The grilling gives it a nice crust on one side and helps highlight the sweetness/ spice paring in the recipe. The place is ran by pretty much the same staff every shift. Friendly, hard working and always interested in your satisfaction. read more

Tried Moe's today for the first time and it was delicious! We shared the fried catfish with collared greens, black eyed peas and corn bread and the pork nachos. Everything was so good, the nachos were the surprise delight. The chips are fresh fried flour tortillas and they are so light and fluffy, they're topped with a housemade queso that's to die for along with the pork and tomatoes etc. There's a huge back patio with shaded picnic tables. We highly recommend you try it! read more

The brisket is really fatty, and the flavor is "grease" the Mac and cheese was stiff and salty. Everything was very alright.

I've spent a lot of time in Texas and know good bbq. We tried Moe's take out...the pulled pork and smoked turkey were actually pretty good. We got mac and cheese,, beans and potato salad as sides. The sides also tasted pretty good. The sandwiches and sides portions are so hideously small that had to stop for burgers after.. It's comical. Alabama style bbq? I've seen people from Alabama...and they would not even be able to taste portions this small. read more

Once our go-to BBQ place in Fort Collins, Moe's has tumbled far downhill since the onset of Covid. When the pandemic started, their regular operations were altered to not having fountain drinks and limited capacity. As it progressed they had trouble calculating how much food to prepare each day. More than a year later, and with government edicts lifted, they still struggle with the basics they once had down pat. These days they run out of meat by 5:30 - 6:00pm. After several attempts to get there by 5:30 and have pulled pork or brisket remaining, we finally lucked out. Unfortunately, Covid either forced a change in their butcher or in the quality they strive for. An order of brisket and pulled pork resulted in some garbage meat resembling neither. The "brisket" was more fat than meat. The "pulled pork" was a mix of whatever meat they had left over. What they served was such garbage it didn't even meet criteria to be served in a hog's trough. In all, a $15 plate ended with just the side dishes eaten. Moe's has become a real disappointment. I now drive to Longmont or Firestone when I'm craving good pork. read more

Have you ever gone to a movie after all of your friends just raved about it, saying that it was the best they'd ever seen and it made them laugh so hard they cried? All of the reviews that you read said pretty much the same thing - "best movie ever, a must see!" So, you buy your $9 ticket, a bucket of popcorn that costs just as much and look forward to a few hours of quality entertainment. For most of the time, you sit there with a dead-pan look on your face, double checking your ticket to make sure you're in the right movie. What the hell?? Everyone thought this was good? This is how I feel after eating at Moe's Original Bar B Que. Yes, I'll wait for the booing and hissing to stop. But it's true. I hear so many people talk about how much they love Moe's, I read the other reviews around town and I sit there wondering if we're talking about the same place. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst I've ever had (and I've had some downright horrible BBQ here in Fort Collins) but it's not the shining star that people can't stop praising. Moe's is a Bama-style Barbecue, with a sauce that is mayo-based with lemon, vinegar and spices. It's a style that has been evolving since 1925. They smoke their meats with fruit wood and two sauces. Everything is made from scratch each morning and they have the largest selection of sides than any other BBQ place in town. All in all, and needless to say, we were not impressed. This wasn't a one-time visit for us, either. Everything is heavily salted and the meat has an odd moist texture. We left wondering why everyone likes this place so much. Did we all eat the same barbecue? I feel like I was ready to watch a hysterically funny comedy, only to leave without so much as a snort. read more

Me: "Excuse me, what style of BBQ do you guys serve?" Ladies slouching over the counter with vacant expressions: "Everything I guess, Southern?" Wrong answer. I was looking for an answer like, Memphis, Carolina, Texas . . The food was OK, the service was not good and the atmosphere was not welcoming at all. The side portions were very small, served in cheap plastic sample cups and the food seemed like it had been sitting under warming lamps that weren't quite hot enough. I only went one time, so maybe I had a one-time bad experience, but I didn't see a reason to go back. read more
